Today DEFRA have published some Recyclability Assessment Supplementary Guidance to further clarify the Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM).

The Guidance addresses a number of issues that have been subject to some confusion, such as:

• When your Recyclability Assessments should be reviewed
• How Household packaging applies to online marketplace operators
• How to deal with medical packaging
• The role of Distributors in Recyclability Assessments
• Assessing packaging with 2 or more components
• Assessing labels
• Take-back schemes
• Chemical contaminants
• And further specific clarifications for individual material types (including compostable packaging).
